  • It is important to note that only one user may edit a page at a time. If someone else is editing the page, wait until they are finished, or create a new page by clicking on the "plus" next to the "Pages and Files" button on the left side of the screen and start editing that page.
  • Play with some of the tools in the Editor toolbar. They are similar to the buttons on a word processor.Editor Toolbar.jpg
